Horror and drag is a fusion that was meant to be. As a transformative art form, horror imagery suits drag perfectly, and it’s a genre that queer people, such as myself, naturally embrace. The horror genre celebrates transformation in myriad forms—be it the metamorphosis of a werewolf or the rebirth of a vampire. While there are some drag-themed horror films like Slay and Drop Dead Gorgeous, there’s room for more. On Netflix, Drag Race alumni Trixie Mattel and Katya have brought horror discussions into the mainstream with I Like to Watch Horror. But the pinnacle of this fusion is The Boulet Brothers’ Dragula. More than just drag with a terrorific twist, the Boulet Brothers have broadened the horizons of drag as an art form. They’ve championed inclusivity and ventured into seldom-explored realms of makeup and costume, setting a new standard for what drag can be.
